Hey you like musicals right? I like them too. So here's a musical chapter kinda, please enjoy!
River, Love's accelerator and Heart shaped Virus belong to Akb48.
The overture for Starlights began and the citizens cheered. The Hyperforce ran through the empty streets.
"The main stage is beginning, your anti-aura ear phones are activated and ready to go." Marie's voice said over their communicators.
"When River is over we will trap the formless in the streets with Heart Shaped Virus. Then you'll come in and destroy them."
"Got it!" Willow said as they waited by one of the buildings with the larger screens.
They looked up as the concert sized ship landed and spread out, having smaller stages along it.
The overture ended and it was silent.
"S-t...a-r-lights!"
Fire shot from the stage as the song kicked in, the Sueronians dancing as one.
"Foreword foreword! Go straight ahead!"
Amanda and Arwen were nearby in their ship, waiting for any flying Formless. Amanda pushed a few buttons and a small screen popped up showing the concert.
"Cross the river! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!"
Amanda smiled a bit as Trent and Brittany were right up front as the group crowded them.
"A dream always looks go far away," Trent and Brittany sang, raising their arms in an ex motion and then slowly dropping them.
Amanda watched nervously while Arwen settled up the blasters.
"It feels like it's distance couldn't possibly reached."
Trent looked so confident and happy now, it made Amanda worry about whether he would get in or not.
The Hyperforce watched from the alleyways, watching for any early formless activity.
"Are we ready?" Chiro asked.
"Yeah!" The other chimed in.
Yui, Iris, Violet, and another Sueronian with long white hair went up to the front after Trent and Brittany's formation cleared.
"Pick up that stone under your foot and with all your might throw it away!"
The citizens were no doubt amazed by what they were witnessing, the dancing and singing were incredible. The men were quite interested in the female Sueronians, while a few of the women were highly interested in Trent.
"Just before your eyes, a river is flowing. Broadly, it's such a great river."
The lights and music pulsed intensely, a few instances of fire shooting from the stage lighting up every now and then.
"Darkly, deeply even so the current may be fast but even so."
Iris was having a tough time getting used to the dancing. Yui began to notice this.
"You don't need to be afraid, even if the other side can't be seen. That's right,"
Trent slipped and nearly fell when Brittany caught him. He gave her a look that said, 'Don't worry, I got this.'
"the other side is there so more, you just need to,"
Brittany smiled a bit.
"Believe yourself!" The two sang as they got back up.
"Get over it. River!" The fireworks went off, dazzling the audience.
"Ah-ah-ah-ah! Stop telling yourself excuses!"
Willow watched intently as Trent and Brittany kept going.
"Can't do nothing but keep going!" Trent sang.
Willow sniffled.
"Trent, you and Brittany look amazing." She muttered.
"Ah-ah-ah-ah! Gotta keep moving forward. Keep going, keep going keep walking on the path you've decided!"
The lights turned to the front as Trent and Brittany were at the front again. Trent sighed as his and Brittany's solo came up.
"Just before your very eyes, a river is flowing. Broadly, it's such a great river!" Trent sang.
If the small group of girls weren't fangirling over Trent before, they were now. The size of the group was also beginning to grow.
"Darkly, deeply, even so the current may be fast, even so!" Brittany sang, having the men fall in love.
"Relax, relax, relax, relax!" The backup singers chimed in, adding a sense of harmony.
"You don't need to be afraid, even if the other side can't be seen. That's right, the other side is there,"
Trent never felt as amazing as he did now, it was like all of the magic he heard from his CDs of Starlights was coming from him and everyone else.
"So more, you just need to believe yourself! Inside your heart too, is a river. A river of sweat and tears!"
One of the flying Formless came early and landed near the stage. A handsome man with glasses fired at it with the undead blasters, and it fell instantly.
"These things really do work!" He yelled to the others.
"Of course they do you idiot!"
"Even if you fail, even if you cry it's ok to start over. You can't complain,"
This causes Amanda and Arwen to look up and notice the flying Formless entering view.
"Crap!" Amanda cursed as the ship lifted off and went right towards them.
"Cling to your dream until it one day comes true."
Arwen grabbed the handles on her side of the ship and began firing.
"You're not going anywhere near the park!" Amanda growled.
"Cross the river! You can do it!"
The fireworks shot up again and everyone cheered loudly.
Trent sighed as the lights dimmed and they left the stage for Main Street, that felt amazing.
"The formless are coming in Chiro." Gibson said.
Chiro peeked out of the alleyway and saw the army of formless coming into view.
They looked around for any source of life, even peeking through trash cans and inside buildings. The music that shot through the speakers made the monsters jump a bit before looking around. Heart shaped lights began to cover the buildings and began circling around.
The Hyperforce looked around before they saw Brittany coming out from behind a panel on top of a smaller building.
"At first it didn't hit me." She sang.
"It felt a bit bothersome." Skyla chimed in from another building.
Yui held onto a hand of a huge fake plastic robot.
"When asked about it, I kept quiet and nodded."
The Formless were entranced by the singing, almost as if they were under some sort of spell. They then began to flock towards the source of the noise.
"I know he's a good guy." Trent sang from on top of a building with a painted eye on it.
"But he really isn't my type." Violet sung on a building across from him.
"Even though I wasn't planning for us to become friends." Iris sang before running behind a corner.
Most of the army of formless were now under the aura's spell, although there were still some who weren't affected.
At the main concert stage in the back, Niro grumbled.
"It's seems that most of them aren't affected."
Crystal edged in a bit, looking for Marina.
The formless paused as a sweet voice rang out. Marina appeared from the building that Iris was next to.
"Where and how did it happen? While I was unaware, I fell in love." She sang, making a heart shape out of her hands.
Sprx's eyes widened when he saw the entire army of Formless swoon.
"Holy crap this is actually working."
Chiro turned to the others.
"That's our cue! Let's take them out team!"
The team ran out of the alley way and into the formless army, who was completely unaware of what's going on.
"From this heart shaped virus, it looks like I've become sick."
Marina struck a sexy pose as the Formless were still distracted.
"Chiro spearo!" Chiro threw a lightning bolt at a group of Formless, destroying them.
"Flame fist fury!" Nova yelled before engulfing a few Formless in flames.
"Not a single injection can cure it."
Willow formed a black ball in her hand and threw it at a large group of Formless. They all heard beams being fired at the flying Formless above, no doubt Amanda and Arwen were taking care of it. The numbers of the Formless began to dwindle.
"Laser lass drill!" Gibson shouted, taking down more Formless.
"This is actually working!" Otto said happily.
"You're the only one I'm thinking about and now I can hardly concentrate." Trent and Marina sang before she stepped up.
"This can't be happening! Or so I thought..." Marina sighed.
The last few Formless kept watching as the Hyperforce crowded them. Marina smiled.
"But the truth is that I grew to love you!" She declared.
Crystal held back a loud squeal of happiness as the staff relied back in surprise.
Love and lust were the last feelings the Formless ever felt before they were destroyed. The team cheered and Chiro turned towards the bridge, seeing a large cloud of darkness coming towards them. He looked up at the girls and Trent.
"You guys head on back and keep the citizens safe! We got this!" He yelled.
Yui nodded and looked towards everyone else.
"Let's make this last verse count everyone!" She said and they all nodded.
They turned and quickly went back, finishing the song.
"From this heart shaped virus, it looks like I've become sick, not a single injection can cure it."
The Hyperforce turned towards the dark cloud, vaguely seeing two shapes walking towards them. Willow glared at it harshly.
"You're the only one I'm thinking about and now I can hardly concentrate."
"Let's finish this." She grumbled.
"Now I can hardly concentrate."
The song finished and the heart lights disappeared. Leaving them in deafening silence.
"Yui, right on time. You guys were great!" Marie said proudly as Yui grabbed her costume for 'Love's Accelerator'.
Crystal hugged Marina.
"My baby did so good! You were just like me!" She squealed.
Trent looked back outside, wanting to go out and help the others. Brittany touched his shoulder.
"Don't worry, they'll be fine." She said.
"But I want to go out there with them and help..." Trent muttered.
Brittany smiled.
"We already helped them, but we're needed here." She said.
Trent looked back at her, still wanting to go out and help them. However, she was right and for now he had to stay here.
The two then heard loud music play as they peeked out on the stage, seeing Yui burst out from a large prop, wearing a black and red tank top with a red and black layered skirt and holding a sword.
"Don't look at me with such sweet eyes. I know who said those egotistical things." She began, having such a serious expression.
Skyla crossed her arms a bit while Iris kept watching her friend sing. Trent looked over at her.
"She's really good."
"Yeah..." Iris muttered.
"So...you said something about never caring for singing?" Trent asked.
Iris flinched and glared at him.
"Yeah? So what?"
Trent looked over at a group of Gary Stus guarding the stage, looking around for any Formless activity.
"Well why didn't you try to join the Gary Stus? If I could pass the first auditions you can-"
"You think I have any choice?!" She yelled, getting attention from a few other Sueronians.
Trent was taken back by her tone, Iris realized what she said and looked out at Yui.
"Step harder on love's accelerator at the speed of memories being shaken away..." She sang, her voice a pure powerhouse.
"Besides...I'm already here...I might not even get in." Iris muttered, sounding hopeful at the end.
Trent frowned a bit and wanted to ask again when Skyla sighed.
"I wanted to sing Love Accelerator, all the cool captains get to sing it." She said.
Brittany raised an eyebrow.
"Does singing a song prove leadership skills?" She asked.
"Well...no. But I still wanted to sing it." Skyla huffed.
Violet tilted her head.
"What will you do if you don't become captain?" She suggested.
Skyla froze and looked back at her, almost as if she spoke another language.
"If I don't get in?" She asked, putting emphasis on 'don't'.
Iris rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, what if someone like Violet or Brittany becomes captain? Are you going to throw a fit or something?"
"I don't throw fits!" Skyla huffed before thinking it over.
"Umm...then...then I would...huh." Skyla was completely confused.
Violet walked up to her.
"You should have a backup plan in case you don't get the position, until then just try your hardest to get it." She suggested.
Skyla nodded slowly and looked down.
"Y-yeah." She said before looking out onto the stage.
Yui finished the song by placing the sword out in front of her and holding onto it. Skyla gulped, she had a lot to do in order to become captain.
The dark cloud came closer to them before it finally dissipated. The others squinted as dust flew past them. Skelemandarin looked around.
"Well...I thought the army would have been taken out much later but I was wrong!" He said.
Sage chuckled.
"Come on, you knew they would get some help from other Sueronians."
The team froze at this, they knew?! Willow then noticed Diamanda's choker on Sage's neck.
"H-hey! That looks like-!"
"Diamanda's? Oh yeah, I ran into her a little while back as she tried to leave this planet. Unfortunately she won't be going home for a long time." Sage said sinisterly.
Nova got out her large fists.
"What did you do to her?!" She demanded.
Sage and Skelemandarin looked at each other.
"Oh...nothing too important." Skelemandarin said.
Sage formed a white fireball in his hand. The others looked at each other slightly.
"So let's get to the real reason why we're here. Taking you out!" Skelemandarin laughed as he formed a energy cannon with his hand.
Willow growled and morphed black balls in each hand.
"Funny! We could say the same about you!" She snarled as Antauri looked at her.
"Monkeys mobilize!" Chiro yelled as they charged at him.
Quickly Sage blew them all back as Skelemandarin charged towards them and began firing at them. The team quickly got up and began to attack.
"So where's that other me at? Still wallowing in guilt?!" Sage asked as he went hand to hand with Chiro with his dragon claws.
"Please! Trent is much stronger because of that experience now!" Willow huffed, kicking Sage from under his feet.
He teleported behind Willow and right hooked her. Antauri growled and rushed towards him.
"Phase and daze!"
Sage tried to fight him off but ended up getting scratched. Skelemandarin and Otto kept fighting each other while the others tried to gang up on Sage. Skelemandarin tried to blast Otto's head but the green monkey kept dodging. Otto then shielded himself with his saws as a black sword tried to slice at him.
"You know you don't have to keep doing this! You can leave all of this behind!" Otto said, trying to appeal to him.
Skelemandarin scoffed.
"Please! Like I would listen to someone as lesser as you!" He said before kicking Otto away.
Skelemandarin then felt surging pain on his back as Sprx thrusted his magnets into his back.
"He's right Mandarin 2, you don't have to do this!" He yelled as Skelemandarin sat up.
His shoulders shook before he turned to Sprx.
"That...is the last time I want to be referred as 'Mandarin 2'!" He yelled before punching Sprx in the face.
"Sprx!" Otto yelled before Skelemandarin went back to fighting him.
"Don't any of you idiots get it?! I am the superior Mandarin, not that muscular blob!"
Otto blinked a bit before seething with anger.
"Don't you dare talk about him like that!" He yelled before going at him.
"Ooh did I strike a nerve? Did I insult your precious boyfriend?" Skelemandarin teased, backing up as Otto kept trying to hit him.
Otto glared at him.
"Yes!"
Skelemandarin blinked.
"Oh, well I had no idea I mean-" he stuttered before Otto punched him.
Sage kept dodging the team's rapid attacks before blasting them away. Willow groaned before she realized Sage was standing over her, white fireball in hand.
"So, give my regards to your father for me when you reunite with him!" He laughed.
Then a laser shot down next to him, causing Sage to jump. The ship that Amanda was driving flew over them and landed not too far away. Amanda and Arwen hopped out of the ship and ran towards them, ice shards in hand.
Sage growled and blasted several beams of energy at them before getting knocked to the ground by Nova. He and Skelemandarin were cornered.
"Give up you two! It's over!" Antauri exclaimed.
Skelemandarin shakily got up, holding himself up.
"I...refuse to lose to y-!" He stopped his speech before he heard some dark chuckling.
Everyone shivered as Sage slowly got up, now laughing. He pulled out a dark crystal from his pocket and laughed loudly.
"Over? Oh no buddy, it's just getting started!" He declared.
Arwen gasped, realizing what he was about to do.
"Sage don't! No Sueronian has ever tried to use two sources of power at once before! It's been said that doing such a thing could kill them!" Arwen shouted, trying to get him to stop.
Jinmay turned to her.
"It hasn't been tried before?!"
"And for good reason! It's completely insane!"
"Then I have nothing to lose! If I'm going down, I'm taking all of you with me!" Sage yelled before putting the crystal necklace over the choker and everyone flew back because of the power surge it released.
Skelemandarin grimaced before looking up. Sage's body was covered in dark purple veins and had a bright purple light around him.
"What...what have I created?" He breathed.
HOOOOO SHIT SAGE HAS GONE OFF THE DEEP END! How will this fan out? Find out in the next update! Thanks for reading!
